Where The Wild Things Are Chords

Capo 1st fret
 
 
[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                      G
My big brother rode an Indian Scout
                      D
It was black like his jacket
                        G
American Spirit hangin' outta his mouth
              D
Just like our daddy
          Bm                    G     
He kicked-started that bike one night 
                  D
and broke Mama's heart
                G
He pointed that headlight west
A                         D
Out where the wild things are
 
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.                  G
He'd call me up every couple of weeks
               D
From South California
                              G
Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree
                    D
And his pretty girl stories
                 Bm                
How he bought an Airstream trailer 
      G       D
and a J-45 guitar
                             G
Said, "Little brother, you'd love it out here
A                         D
Out where the wild things are"
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm G               D              A
Oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Bm G             D             A
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
          G                     
And light up those streets that 
D                    Em
never sleep when the sky goes dark
A                         D
Out where the wild things are
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                            G
I called my brother from the back of that plane
             D
The second I made it
                           G
We started drinkin' on the strip in LA
                D
And then it got crazy
      Bm                   G     
Ended up at a house in the hills 
               D
with some Hollywood stars
                         G
Kissin' on a blonde in a backyard pool
A                         Bm
Out where the wild things are
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
G  D  A
Bm G A
Oh,  yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
       G
Couple iron horse rebels
G
Wild as the devil
       A
I knew I had to move back east
             G
Said goodbye to my brother
G
At the end of that summer
      A
But I knew he'd never leave
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm G               D              A
Oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Bm G             D             A
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
    Bm G            D            
And oh, them Indian Scouts, man, 
                  A
they're built for speed
    Bm G                      D         
And oh, they said he hit that guardrail 
             A
at half past three
       G                  D           
Lit up those streets that never sleep 
         Em
when the sky goes dark
   G          D                      
We buried him out in the wind 'neath 
    Em              A
the West Coast stars
                          D
Out where the wild things are
 
 
[Outro]
D   G
A                         D
Out where the wild things are
